The restaurant is small and super cute and the type of higher end but not super fancy neighborhood sushi joint that I wish I had in my neighborhood. I was still a bit full from lunch so I opted to not get anything with rice and got the sashimi platter ($26) which came with 3 pieces of albacore, tuna, yellowtail and salmon and then your choice of the 5th kind, either surf clam, octopus or white fish. Clearly I was going for whitefish since I'm not a huge fan of either surf clam or octopus - I think they're both too chewy. Neera got 2 different kinds of rolls - I can't remember which ones they were but they were both pretty different since one was topped with a bed of seaweed and the other was topped with lemon slices - you don't see that too often. I was a bit bummed that my sashimi didn't come with soup or salad, especially at that price point, but luckily in the end, I didn't really need either of them. I really loved my sashimi platter. Not only because there was such a great variety of the types of fish but they were cut just right (not too big like Yama where you can barely eat 1 piece in a bite and not too small where you are done with the entire platter in 5 minutes). The quality of all the pieces of fish were top notch (literally melt in your mouth) and I just felt super healthy eating my meal. I am still thinking about how I haven't had a great platter like that in a long time. I didn't try either of Neera's rolls but she did mention that the lemon slices were a bit too thick and could have been a bit thinner. It's sushi places like this (not super fancy like a Masa but not so cheap that you you're better off eating deli sushi) that make me wish I could have sushi everyday.
Total bill per person: $32
